Deontay Wilder vs. Bermane Stiverne did 674K on Showtime

[Pigeons]

I just looked over at ShowbuzzDaily and these are not the ratings as they are associated with a 28-minute segment. Wilder-Stiverne was less than a 10-minute segment so it isn't going to be listed on ShowbuzzDaily. The 674K is either for the pre- or post-fight segment.

You wont get reliable numbers tbh, Sky doesnt release much, you can watch it on demand at any time, and fights normally get repeated for a couple of days on one of the Sky channels. No way of really gauging the interest

How convenient. You see we have no problem submitting our numbers to fights from overseas that happen to be our rivals hmm... I think you guys just wont want to tell us. You must be working for Missmatchroom, in the damage control department.

Joshua-Klitschko pulled in 659,000 viewers on Showtime. King Deontay is doing those numbers with shot inactive Bumane Stiverne in a rematch nobody wanted to see. Like you mentioned Dr. Kewl Hair, if we wait on the SKY ratings in the UK ( yes they covered the fight ) Deontay must of done over a million views, WOW!!! King Deontay must be the 'A' side -- do you guys have the SKY numbers by the way?

So in the USD AJ vs Klitschko did around the same numbers in the afternoon as Wilder vs Stiverne did prime-time, and you think that's some kind of triumph for Wilder?

Wow! so the numbers may be even greater than these?! I cant believe it! to think this figure is just a portion yet still did better than AJ. Kltisckho is impressive.

Yes Kafkod a old Bermane Stiverne, a fight nobody wanted to see competing with the McGregor fight league PPV.

The only reliable Sky numbers are the PPVs. That's because the Broadcasters Audience Research Board publish weekly numbers for all UK broadcasters, and Sky Box Office will typically have only one PPV event per week.

The BARB numbers for AJ vs Wlad are 1.53million. That's PPVs, of course.

Lol. How desperate do you need to be to name drop a UFC fighter who wasn't even fighting that night in an attempt to persuade us that Wilder is a big TV draw?

Oh he wasn't fighting? I didn't know because I dont follow that crap sport. But I thought that league was a major sporting event on this side of the world WITHOUT MCTAPPER.

Yet you just assume that your fellow Americans would rather pay to watch that crappy sport than watch the great American world HW champion Deontay Wilder for free?

Free? no -- subscription to Showtime is required, so now you are going to pretend that that fight league that made MCTAPPER a superstar, big enough to break a PPV record is not popular over here and a considerable factor that night? ok.

if alabama was a country supporting its fighters he would have stadiums filled up as well...


at your twitter comment like that actually matters in boxing

Not quite--In his hometown (Birmingham AL) he puts 12K asses in seats at an arena that has a 15K capacity.
